How PS1 games will work on the PS3
We did point out once that you won’t really need a PS3 to download and play your PS1 titles — thanks to the PSP emulation plan. However, Phil Harrison from the PS3 conference said that “PS1 downloads will initially be for play only on the PSP, but will later work on the PS3 when the emulation software is available.” You can, however, play these games on both the PSP and the PS3, and they will actually be playable by 2007. All the other titles from the previous consoles will be playable on the PS3, obviously.
We didn’t expect, however, what Phil Harrison said concerning the visual enhancements that would be rendered on all the previous titles. He says, “They are as exactly as they were.” Put bluntly, the PS3 won’t offer any visual enhancements to the games.
Additionally, you can download your PS1 games up to five PS3s, regardless of whether it’s on someone else’s PS3, but you should use your own account.
